Sometimes a drawing just doesn’t seem compelling, or finished, or is enough of a disappointment that you just want to go back into it. A self portrait I did bugged the hell outta me and then, as I sat down to have lunch, I was looking over recent work, including the aforementioned selfie when my lunch arrived. The grilled salmon. I had also been looking a friend’s drawing of a captured warrior who would surely be tortured. The rest just fell together or conjoined.

Striking piece. IMHO one of your best. I like everything about it, but particularly the blue of the vest, ‘texture’ of the fabrics on shirt, vest and face (beard), script across the piece. Gee, that’s kinda everything.
Much appreciated Lou!
